1 Introduction
This guide gives a brief overview of the conga-CAM/MIPI and how to set it up.
1.1 Product Overview
The conga-CAM/MIPI—a congatec starter kit for two MIPI cameras—provides
manufacturers with instantly deployable smart camera platform. This platform
helps to simplify the development of smart camera solutions, reduces cost and
accelerates time to market.
The kit contains amongst other components, the conga-PA5/N3350-4G module.
The module features the Intel®5th generation Celeron®processor. With
6 W maximum TDP, the kit offers Ultra Low Power board with high computing
performance and outstanding graphics, in addition to a MIPI-CSI compliant camera
with a high-definition sensor.
The various features and capabilities the kit offers make it ideal for designing
compact, energy-efficient, performance-oriented and customizable smart camera
solutions.
The conga-CAM Kit/MIPI is for evaluation or development purposes only and is
provided "as is".

Note
2 Hardware Setup
Steps:
1. Attach the conga-PA5/CSP-T passive cooling solution to the module using the
supplied screws.
2. Connect one end of the I-PEX cable to the camera and the other end of the cable
to the camera adapter.
3. Connect the flat foil end of the camera adapter to the module, with the conductive
traces facing up.
4. Attach the USB stick containing pre-installed image.
5. Connect the power supply plug to the module and insert the power cord into a
convenient AC outlet.
Outcome:
a. the board boots from the pre-installed image on the USB stick.
b. login screen appears.
As soon as you plug the attached power supply to a power source, the conga-CAM/MIPI
powers up automatically.
6. Type root and press enter to log in.
7. Type startx to start the window's manager
8. Open a terminal:
– run the camera script with the command bash run_ar023z.sh
– to switch between the open windows, use ALT + TAB keys

3 Software
3.1 Distribution
The software and documentation is available upon request.
3.2 Supported Operating System
•Yocto
The Yocto BSP is available upon request.
3.3 Board Support Package
The steps below describes how to fetch and install the congatec Yocto BSP. The
BSP provides congatec hardware specific settings, libraries and applications.
3.3.1 Prerequisite:
Yocto Project Development Environment. For more information, visit:
https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.8/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.html
3.3.2 Steps:
Follow the steps below to clone and apply the congatec BSP:
1. Clone a copy of the Apollo Lake-I BSP from Github and check out the MR3.1
Branch:
$ git clone https://github.com/01org/iotg-yocto-bsp-public.git -b
e3900/master
$ git checkout E3900-MR3.1
2. Run the setup.sh script to customize the congatec BSP for the installation:
$ cd iotg-yocto-bsp-public
$ ./setup.sh
Note
3. Copy the kernel patches to the build machine and extract them:
$ tar xvfz rel_iotg_seg_ipu_integration_mr3_base_mr3.1_cgt.tar.gz
4. Go to the yocto directory:
cd yocto_build/meta-intel-leafhill/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto
5. Move the kernel patches to the linux-yocto directory:
$ mv /home/user/rel_iotg_seg_ipu_integration_mr3_base_mr3.1_cgt/* patches/
6. List the contents of the patch directory and print them to the .scc file:
$ ls patches/ > ipu-patch-integration.scc
7. Open the file with vi editor:
$ vi ipu-patch-integration.scc
8. Press Esc to enter the vim command prompt mode.
– enter the following command:
$ :%s/^/patch patches\//
9. Press Esc to enter the vim command prompt mode.
– enter the following command:
$ :x
10. Edit the kernel BitBake recipe to include the .scc file:
$ cd ..
$ vim linux-yocto_4.1.bbappend
To prevent integration problems, add the SRC_URI as shown below:
SRC_URI += "le://kernel-patch-integration.scc \
le://ipu-patch-integration.scc \
le://kernel_ipu.scc \
le://kernel_io.scc \
le://kernel_audio.scc \
${@bb.utils.contains('AUDIO_FEATURES', 'ssp', 'le://kernel_audio-
ssp.scc', '', d)} \
"
